"Only the beginning of last year. I wish I found out when you were still in school, but I was too late to the club." Violet grinned.
Wyatt was relieved, but he still could not be sure if Violet was telling the truth.
"Alright Violet, we give you the cash to pay for the school fees and you best not share any details about us."

"Here is our contract." Adrian smashed about 100 pages or so in front of Violet. The boys approached Violet who was studying alone in the corner of the common room. "Did you really think we are going to let you run free with our money? I don't think I can even trust you to drive me anywhere to be honest."
Violet looked up from the book she was reading with a straight face with no expression to Adrian's comment. "You really don't trust me that much, huh? I'll sign it and get out of your way, don't worry."
"Aren't you going to read it first?" asked Jacob clearly annoyed as he spent all his free period typing this contract.
"No, because I really do want my high school life back, if I even had a high school life in the first place. I just want my freedom back. So, I'll sign anything and everything to get it." Violet quickly signed the contract and handed it to the boys and carried on with her work.
This beg for freedom made the boys trust violet.
"Alright, come to our secret hideout at 7 tonight and you'll receive your money tonight." Wyatt told Violet.

It was 7pm, and everyone including Violet was in the HBSS location.
"Do you want us to pay the whole school year amount straight up, or pay for each term because that would be easier for you to handle?" AJ asked Violet.
"Urmm, yeah ... I'll take the term payment. I have a few questions ... what if the mystery man asks for me to pay the past year's school payment, because you never know what he is capable of doing." hesitated Violet.
"Well, we did mention on our contract that we will only pay the money for this school year. So..." Jacob was uncertain about the answers for Violet's question, and his eyes scanned the others for it they knew what to say. However, there was a long pause as no one was sure if they should protect Violet or leave her be as they now know that their secret will be safe.
Wyatt finally broke the silence by reassuring Violet "Look, you can come to us if you have any problems, we will deal with it when it comes, until then we can wait. Because, I do want to meet this mystery man, and know why he has been stalking us for 4 years. He must really love us if he offered to pay your student fees to stalk us day and night."
Jacob intervened "It is definitely illegal stalking kids, but then again we have been doing illegal stuff too so this definitely cannot go to the police."
"I know we have been in enough trouble," said Wyatt.
Adrian interrupted "'Enough trouble', you mean crimes that can land us jail time."
Wyatt continued "but we are going to have to take this situation in our own hands ... again."
